PCB recalls 13 players from CPL and English county circuit

Miandad also pitched ideas to improve the state of cricket in the country, suggesting that the board should hire former cricketers as presidents of various cricket bodies in Pakistan.

The board had originally given as many as 10 players, including seven centrally contracted cricketers, permission to play the entire Caribbean Premier League - which began on August 4 and runs until September 9.
